` The body of `-he churn AA is made of wood,

n of any desiredproportions, fastened to the outside, andin themiddle of the churn is the frame R'R, extending above the churn any desired distance, towhieh the lever M M is at, jtached, extending lengthwise ofthe churn, of

` placed lthe movable partitions FF,'with holes throughthem, ,and betweenthese is placed the regulating-slide il?, with `a handle passing through thelidofthe churn, that'when the regulatingslide P is raised upthe cream lor milk will pass through the partitions, and `when shoved down; thereby closing the holes and stopping the' cream or milk from "passing IMPROVEMENT Ilum-mulas.

through, will produce,moreagitationof the cream or milk. At the bottom of the dashrods O O is the frame N, to which is attached the floats C G, with holes `through them, by

pivots, and the pivots are so constructed in thev iloats near the center that when the' dashrods O O'are pressed down upon the cream or.

R R and the cream or milk is forced up through the holes of the iioats, and when the floats are raised out of the cream or milk the peculiar manner in which they are attached to the frame 'R R `causes them rto drop, thereby lessening the resistance in raising the dash through the cream or milk. The dash-rodsO O can be removed, and'in their place may be attached the butter-Worker D, for the purposeof working and salting the butter, and placed on top of the churn is the butter-tray H with a slide, S, :in it that lets the water and buttermilk -from the butter. The butter-worker is operated by the same power that is used in churning.

The operation of my churn is as follows: The cream or milk is poured into the churn and the lever M M is worked up and down by hand or by power with a slow motion until the butter conies,which will bein one-half the time it ordinarily takes in common dash churns. The partitions F F can be so regulated that, when the cream is thick, by raising the regulating-slide P, thereby opening the holes, will permit the cream to pass back and forth through the partitions as the churn is operated.'

N earthe bottom of the churn is a falsechainber, J. The tunnel I is intended to permit Warm or cold water to be poured in the chamber for regulating the temperature of the cream or milk.
